Event description

Description

Original Georgian stone-built farmhouse, which has been extensively repaired and upgraded with alterations and improvements to create holiday accommodation which is comfortable, thermally efficient and sustainable – whilst recreating a period house with authentic features and decoration. The property has been upgraded and restored using natural breathable materials compatible with the traditional materials of the original construction. These include insulated limecrete floors beneath relaid original stone flags; external lime render to the stone walls, lime plaster internally combined with wood fibre insulation boards; restored original sash windows and shutters, replacement double glazed sash windows and external doors, restored original wooden floors, doors and features, new solid oak floor boards and other features. Building services include solar PV panels providing electricity, partial underfloor heating, and numerous other sustainable and discrete technologies.

An architect from Haigh Architects, who oversaw this renovation will be on site to give us a tour and answer any questions.
